Does the concept of "ultra-processed foods" help inform dietary guidelines, beyond conventional classification systems? Debate consensus. The NO position argues that the concept of UPF is poorly defined; gives rise to misclassification of foods; is without clear mechanisms of action; and that the observed associations with obesity are likely confounded. The YES position argues that the Nova system is therefore crucial to inform dietary guidelines and also public policies designed to reduce production and consumption of UPFs, whereas the NO position argues that the system adds no value to conventional nutrient metrics and existing nutrient profiling systems, pointing instead to the need to develop an evidence-based system to characterize obesogenic foods. |

Impact of Crohn's Disease Therapies on Histology in Randomized Controlled Trials: Systematic Review With Meta-analysis. Crohn's disease therapies are effective for achieving histological outcomes. Adherence to recently published consensus on histopathology harmonization assessment in Crohn's disease would facilitate adequate comparison between studies in the future. |

Associations between folic acid supplement use and folate status biomarkers in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy in the mirec pregnancy cohort study. In the context of mandatory FA fortification, our data indicate that higher-than-recommended FA doses are unwarranted with the exception of individuals at higher risk for NTDs. Ideally, prenatal supplements would contain 400 rather than 1000 µg FA thereby enabling the consumption of optimal and safe FA doses. |
Associations of erythrocyte omega-3 fatty acids with cognition, brain imaging and biomarkers in the Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative: cross-sectional and longitudinal retrospective analyses. Longitudinally, low -3 index was associated with greater Aß accumulation and WMS cognitive decline but unexpectedly with lower total ADAS-Cog cognitive decline. Although no associations were cross-sectionally found in the whole population, low -3 index was associated with lower WMS cognition and higher tau accumulation among ApoE e4 carriers. The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) is registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00106899. |
Reducing relative food reinforcement of infants using a music enrichment program: a randomized, controlled trial. This study extends our knowledge in infant eating behavior by providing insight into the role of nonfood alternatives in altering one's motivation to eat. There may be sex differences in altering one's motivation to eat. |
Vitamin B6 and Riboflavin, Their Metabolic Interaction and Relationship With MTHFR Genotype, in Adults Aged 18-102 Years. These results are consistent with the known metabolic dependency of PLP on FMN and suggest that riboflavin may be the limiting nutrient for maintaining vitamin B6 status, particularly in individuals with the MTHFR 677TT genotype. Randomized trials are necessary to investigate the PLP response to riboflavin intervention within the dietary range. |

Aberrant Mucin Expression Profiles Associate With Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Presentation and Activity. Colonic mucin expression is disturbed in pediatric IBD patients and associates with disease activity and presentation, suggesting its use as molecular marker to aid in disease diagnosis and management. |
Health-Related Quality of Life Outcomes With Tofacitinib Treatment in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis in the Open-Label Extension Study, OCTAVE Open. A continued favorable impact on HRQoL was revealed with long-term tofacitinib treatment in OCTAVE Open, regardless of baseline remission status or treatment history. (ClinicalTrials.gov; number NCT01470612). |
Integrating Radiomics With Clinicoradiological Scoring Can Predict High-Risk Patients Who Need Surgery in Crohn's Disease: A Pilot Study. Radiomic features on MRE may be associated with risk of surgery in CD, and in combination with clinicoradiological scoring can yield an accurate prognostic model for time to surgery. |

Application of Deep Learning Models to Improve Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Disease Activity Scoring Under Multiple Scoring Systems. We present the first fully automated tool that improves the accuracy of the MES and UCEIS, reduces the time between video collection and review, and improves subsequent quality assurance and scoring. |
circSMAD4 promotes experimental colitis and impairs intestinal barrier functions by targeting JAK2 through sponging miR-135a-5p. This study shows that circSMAD4 regulates the progression of experimental colitis via the miR-135a-5p/JAK2 signaling axis and it may be a potential therapeutic target. |
Mortality in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Results from 30 years of follow-up in a Norwegian inception cohort (the IBSEN study). Overall, all-cause mortality rates were similar between patients with IBD and controls. However, clinicians should remain alert to cardiovascular diseases and infections, particularly in specific subgroups of CD patients. |
